GMA works extensively with industrial heavy-duty equipment OEMs and has an in-depth knowledge of manufacturer and end user requirements.

GMA Garnet™ is approved by leading paint and coating manufacturers around the world, helping provide the best surface to protect manufacturers 
brands and machinery in the harsh environments industrial equipment operates in.

Mining and Construction Equipment

GMA Garnet™ can produce the optimal preparation that helps maintain, protect and extend equipment uptime and life cycle in the heavy-duty segment. Creating a clean surface and consistent profile for coatings to help extend the life of equipment.  Harsh operating environments need the best clean surface profile to protect assets vital to running your operation efficiently.
  • Exceptional surface cleanliness with minimal abrasive embedment for better corrosion resistance and substrate integrity
  • Creating the required surface profile with consistent peak density for stronger coating adhesion
  • High blasting and cleaning efficiency, leading to reduced asset downtime during maintenance
  • Very low dust emissions, reducing risks and hazards to workers
  • GMA Garnet™ is an inert, sustainable natural mineral with little to no recordable heavy metals and worker hazard risks.

Agriculture

GMA Garnet™ helps extend the life of agricultural equipment such as harvesters, seeders and tractors season after season, thanks to GMA’s optimal surface preparation.  Prolonged UV and chemical exposure accelerates aging, and wear and tear. Prolonging coating integrity and reducing asset downtime for maintenance requires the cleanest surface and a consistent profile which GMA Garnet™ provides.
  • Exceptional surface cleanliness with minimal abrasive embedment for better corrosion resistance and substrate integrity
  • Creating the required surface profile with consistent peak density for stronger coating adhesion
  • High blasting and cleaning efficiency, leading to reduced asset downtime during maintenance
  • Very low dust emissions, reducing risks and hazards to workers
  • GMA Garnet™ is an inert, sustainable natural mineral with little to no recordable heavy metals and worker hazard risks.

Rail cars

GMA has long experience with transport engineers to provide the right abrasive specification to their requirements. GMA Garnet™ provides a range of high-performance, specialised garnet blasting abrasives for the rail industry. When hopper cars need specialised protection from abrasion, the surface profile and cleanliness are paramount to extending coating life.
